Introduction
Actuaries rely for their projects on vast reservoirs of news,articles,blogs and other online sources. Because of the dfficulty of properly searching, finding and assessing these unstructured data actuaries may not draw upon these vast reservoirs of information. This can ultimately lead to poorly-informed decision making or falling behind in knowledge.

When I started setting up this website some years ago, I wanted to embed actuarial and mathematical symbols in my blogs. I figured out that the easiest way to achieve this is by using LaTeX. The difficult part was to implement LaTeX on my Foxpro webserver such that it would automate the generation process. EventualIy I reached my goals by using a combination of ImageMagick, Ghostscript, Latex and Foxpro code that converted LaTeX scripts in webimages. The easy part was to write actuarial symbols in LaTeX, which was just a matter of sub- and supscripting.
